I have a small business server 2000 with 5 users and require a demand dial up connection to a branch via an ISDN line and another connection for my ADSL internet connection. I have configured routing and remote access so that the ADSL is permanentlyon and the worksations have no problem accessing the internet, however only the server can access the branch resources via the demand dial up connection. Any suggestions would be most grateful. Workstation cannot "see" the branch server i.e. requesttimed out during a ping from any workstation yet they can ping the local servers PPP dial up ipaddress?

not enough information to answer. need clarification on whether the branch office is a seperate domain. What O/S configuration is the branch office running. has a two way trust between the two been established in Active Directory. Does the branch office have VPN capabilities? If so, have you configured RRAS VPN end point to end point? [just to name a few ]. Need more definitive information on configuration of the two sites.

Yea the head office is a seperate domain Win 4.5 SBS and the branch is running Win 2000 SBS no domain only workgroup.
The branch office server dials up directly to the head office via an ISDN dial up and is authenticated using user details and can access all resources.
The branch office does have VPN capabilities however both the branch and the head office have ADSL connections and the IP address is renewed every 24 hours.

Previously the "server" was a win98 and using Internet connection sharing we were able to dial up to the head office and internet alternatively to access resources.
